transmission fluid type
 

i searched everywhere and looked in the DYI link. What trans fluid should be used in my 84 300D turbo? All I can find is use correct "MB" fluid. Does the MB fluid have an equivalent ATF type fluid? I know some are using synthetic but mine is red so I assume it is not. I only need 1 qt to full.

I use Valvoline Maxlife in my 84 300D with no problems.

Plain old cherry juice, Dexron III is what I use.

My local MB dealer uses Wolf's Head. Said Mercedes does not offer trans fluid.

Any DexIII/Mer ATF.

Iam using Amsoil synthetic ATF and it is red.
